In last week’s “Homeroom” segment, we discussed the value of teaching civics as a way to promote democracy and citizenship. This week, we visit with a student from Eau Claire who recently won the first-ever Wisconsin Civics Bee. And we’ll learn about the goals of a Wisconsin group, the Campaign for a Family Friendly Economy.
